Composting Shed by Groves-Raines Architects
Scottish studio Groves-Raines Architects have completed a composting shed in Edinburgh made of the bars normally used to reinforce concrete. The structure consists of interlocking steel rods, which have been curved and twisted to create an organic shape that appears to emerge from the ground. The shed has been constructed using a technique similar to willow weaving and the rods are rooted in the ground. The structure is completed by a steel roof planted with grass. The shed serves as a garden store and the surrounding space as a composting area. The project was one of the winning entries for the American Institute of Architects Excellence in Design Award announced last month.
En 2008, junto a Liverpool, recibió el título de capital europea de la cultura también la ciudad de Stavanger en Noruega, cuya área metropolitana comprende el municipio de Sandnes. Para la ocasión el ayuntamiento organizó una serie de iniciativas que abarcaron desde la arquitectura a la literatura, pasando por la música y las artes visuales, entre las que se encontraba el concurso “Norwegian Wood”, convocado para promover la construcción de madera por sus valores de sostenibilidad. Una de los requerimientos del concurso trataba el tema del espacio urbano como lugar de descanso y participación y solicitaba realizar una plazoleta en el cruce entre Flintergaten y Laggaten, dos calles peatonales próximas al área portuaria de Sandnes. El techo no es pleno, sino que está compuesto por una rejilla de elementos de pino laminar, primarios y secundarios, de 9x9 cm en sección y refuerzos de acero, sobre el que se apoya un manto de cristal que constituye la cubierta propiamente dicha.

[Image: The Palettenpavillon by Matthias Loebermann , photographed/copyright by Mila Hacke, Berlin]. The Palettenpavillon by Matthias Loebermann is a structure made entirely from shipping pallets, ground anchors, and tie rods. Designed to be easily assembled and dismantled, and then entirely recycled at a later date, the resulting building is intended as a temporary meeting place. As the architect writes, the shipping pallets are "characterized by a complex geometry of open and closed surface portions," with the effect that a staggered stacking of each unit produces "interesting netlike structures."

first image 'untitled' from cicloviaérea series by jarbas lopes, 2010 natural fiber over bicycle 43 5/16 x 74 51/64 x 26 49/64 inches all images courtesy the artist and VIP art fair 2.0 brazilian artist jarbas lopes has created a bicycle covered in woven fiber. the result is an organic-seeming mode of transportation on show at VIP art fair 2.0: international contemporary art fair . the 'cicloviaérea' series is an incarnation of a bicycle which is intended for transportation and as a source of enjoyment. the physically manifested critique of capitalism and mass production values the notion of a fuel-less transport system and meticulous craftsmanship. the artist conceptualizes his work as every day objects being the beginning of understanding symbolic language, aesthetic experience and social interaction. lopes' work investigates the model of an individual shaping the societal structure, rather than the individual being molded entirely by the preexisting structure.

ETFE
Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene , ETFE, a fluorine based plastic , was designed to have high corrosion resistance and strength over a wide temperature range. ETFE is a polymer , and its systematic name is poly(ethylene-co-tetrafluoroethylene) . ETFE has a very high melting temperature, excellent chemical, electrical and high energy radiation resistance properties. When burned ETFE releases hydrofluoric acid . [ edit ] Chemical, mechanical, physical, and thermal properties Useful comparison tables of PTFE against FEP , PFA and ETFE can be found on DuPont's website, listing the mechanical, thermal, chemical, electrical and vapour properties of each, side by side.
